Treatment for Nursery Stock which has been FROZEN enroute. 
1. DO NOT OPEN PACKAGES! ! ! THIS IS IMPERATIVE ! ! ! 
2. Place in a cool place such as a cellar but where there is no danger of additional 
frost or freezing. 
3. If possible, cover packages with earth, sawdust or any material which will exclude 
air. 
4. Allow stock to remain until ALL frost is out of the container. Two or three weeks 
is not too long if necessary; the stock will keep safely even longer. 
5. AFTER ALL FROST IS OUT the stock may be unpacked, stored or heeled in 
and no injury will have resulted from the freezing. 
When receiving stock in REFRIGERATOR CARLOTS, always look in the end 
ICE BUNKERS for any additional stock. It is sometimes necessary to pack the 
bunkers when the car is filled to capacity.
